Hello everyone
absolutely crashed yesterday after my post. I zonked out around 6:30 woke up briefly around 7 and slept close to 10 hrs had weird dreams so wasn't exactly rest ful. But that's the most i've slept @ once in a long time. Ex was supposed to come over for a bit last night, so glad I changed my mind due to my back.
As result no exercise and was way behind on my water. Today is a new day.
Big news around these parts this morning is that Brady is walking around w/ a walking cast. Yipes!!

will be back in a bit for personals.

lizzy

Back again.
Can't believe I missed the end of that game, sounded really wild thanks for the update ladies.
Barb- tell me about how you like the cheeses. Wally's was the only place i've seen them up there. Yipes @ the price though, wow about being close to the superbowl.
Jen- congrats on wi, those firm tapes and the outings @ the Y are helping. bummer about the laptop, hope they let you get a new one

Good Morning Ladies.
So yeah, my WI was down 2.4 last night. At first as I sat there, I thought that was not great considering all the hard work I did, but then I sat there listening to everyone around me who either gained or had a smaller loss and the fact that they cheated, didn't journal or didn't exercise....I realized I did all I could do and it will just keep coming off. Plus the fact that although they handed me a week 3 book last night, this is really my 4th week and that first week was a big one. AND I also was thinking....I would really like to be back at goal by May 31st......if i lost 2 pounds a week from here to them it comes out to EXACTLY my goal weight. FULL STEAM AHEAD!
Kevin is coming home for a couple of days at some point this week. That should be interesting. I have my feet dug in, I want to see how he reacts and if he will be helpful.

So on tap for today....the kids are going to the Y again while I am at work. Now today is an inservice for the teachers. Dinner tonight will be in the crockpot again...last night was fajita style beef stew which i loved...tonight is a pork loin made with different stuff in it that sounds reallllly good.

Lizzy- I hope your back gets to feeling better! It was a wild game!

Alrighty....gonna start getting dinner thrown together.

OK.....I also updated my ticker. It pained me deeply to put my restarting weight on there.....but I realized too bad it has to get up there.

Also.......working out is going to be a challenge today. Since I am dropping off the kids later, I am picking them up later. The Y doesn't take them until 8:30, so I am working until about 4:30. I have GOT to get in the door and workout immediately. Jess has basketball practice from 6 to 7. OK.....what I might have to do is do some of the workout, stop and drop Jess off at practice, come home and finish the rest, then go get her. I think there is the plan. Ok

WTG JEN!!!!

Morning Lizzy! Glad you got a good night's sleep!

I have to go back to work today...bummer! After 3.5 days off in a row, it SUCKS! I never felt bad again after my initial "episode" on Sun night--too weird..DS was the same exact way..about 4 hours of feeling ill and it was over.

We are officially hooked on Ebay...DD has bought 2 horse items this weekend at over 1/3 price of what it would have cost new not to mention she sold 2 of her Vera Bradley items for a total of $24.50 plus s&H which totally blew my mind..she has been taking pictures all morning of all the "new" stuff she is going to list. Can't beat it if you can get that good of price for stuff although I do realize it won't be that way every time.

Went to Shoney's last night to the all you can eat buffet...I stuck with a few chicken wings (not fried), salad and soup. WOO HOO!!

Okay off to try out my new exercise DVD I got Sat night..Below the Belt. It was only a $1...time will determine if it was worth a $1 or not.

BB after I get to work.

P. S. We did have some light snow flurries Sat night!!!!!! It was very light and powerd but it was snow flurries..the kids & I watched it from the windows swirling around the flood lights on the house.

Morning ladies!

That weight workout I did yesterday seriously kicked my ass, I was so friggin tired , went to bed at 10 (early for me) slept pretty good, nice and sore this morning, lol...love that feeling. Woke up with the kids sore throat this morning, UGH.

LIzzy...Wow that is some sleep!!!!

Jen...Good WI!!!!! I think it's something to be proud of!!!

Alright, i'm off to do something productive...

Hi Terry..you snuck in on me!

Forgot the best part of my weekend besides loading my freezer to the rim with meat...I GOT A WASHER!!! and it was FREE!!!! I looked at 3 used ones Fri evening but they were still $185-$235 and I just could not see that. Had plans to go yesterday to look at new ones if I could find a good sale but we were telling a friend of ours about it Sun am and he was like let me call you back in a little while...his BIL had died last year and he & his wife were left with his "estate"...well he had a washer that was practically unharmed except for some markings across the front..told us if we could get it to work, it was mine...IT WORKS!!!!!! I have been washing clothes since 2 yesterday and loving it..who ever would have thunk it???

Hey Nikki!! Whew...I am totally winded..made it through 1/2 of the DVD (15 min)..OMG..I am dying..it is definetly worth $1. Not sure who the instructer is but she is awesome...she is so NOT Leslie!!!! She is young, cute, built and talks you through everything while she is breathing like she is about to collaspe..LOL!!! She has several variations to exercises to help you adjust to the way you can do it and feel comfy..she even lets you know where you should be feeling the pain and if you are feeling it elsewhere she shows you how to adjust or correct what you are doing. I am PLEASED!!! Will be better pleased once I can get through the entire 30 min. Important part for now is I have made this step and I am going to carry forward with it!!!

Good morning ladies. I had a nice relaxing day off. Twinkie and I did some running around. We met the hubby for lunch....and went to the vet for some shots....then finished the day off with a romp around the dog park.

Just to update....We put an offer in on the house on Friday. I am pretty sure we are going to get it. We heard from their realtor yesterday to let us know that she was still waiting to hear from the underwriter about the incentive program. I don't think she would be going through the trouble if the offer was not going to get accepted. We are excited. When it is a done deal...I will post the MLS# so you all can see. It is really a beautiful house.

I am excited that I made lifetime this past weekend, but I decided that I am going to shoot for about 7 more lbs. I set my goal weight on the high side of my range, but now that I am here, I think I would like the goal to be "half of me"......I was 287 when I started ....so, 143.5 would be half of me. I think it would be something fun to shoot for....and it is still well within my range....so not an unhealthy weight. I will let you know how it goes. I need to make it through TOM this week first.

okay...gotta finish getting ready for work. I will try to hop back on later.

Have a good day ladies.
